Never immerse the control unit, the heating element, or the power cable in water or any other liquid.
Never plug in the deep fryer without oil or fat inside.
Do not mix different types of oils.
The oil level must always be between the Min. and Max. markers. Check this each time before cooking, and add some of the same type of oil if necessary.
Preparation for use
Before using your deep fryer for the first time
• Completely unfold the basket handle; a click indicates that it is correctly positioned.
• Remove the control unit and the bowl.
• Clean the lid, the bowl and the frying basket with a damp cloth and washing­up liquid. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Clean the other components of the fryer with a damp cloth.
Filling the bowl
• For best results we recommend blended vegetable oil. For sunflower oil, groundnut oil, or soya oil ensure the oil is changed after every 5 uses.
• If you use solid vegetable fat:
- Cut into small pieces, melt in a separate pan and pour the melted fat into the fryer bowl.
- When remelting solidified fat, break up the surface with a fork to prevent splashes. Take care not to damage the heating element or temperature sensors.
- Never exceed 150°C to melt it, then follow the manufacturer’s cooking instructions.
• Lard or dripping should NOT be used under any circumstances and may cause overflowing, smoking or risk of fire. For traditional UK style deep fried foods, especially chips, we do not recommend using olive oil.

The steam coming from the filter is extremely hot ; so are the window and the metallic parts . Caution: never place your hand or your face over the lid. Never remove the bowl while the deep fryer is switched on.
To prepare several helpings of fresh chips, prepare the desired quantity at 160 °C, then fry at 190 °C just before serving.
When you take off the lid, never drain it over the oil.
Never move your deep fryer with hot oil inside.
If the fryer contains fat, allow the fat to solidify in the fryer and store it with the fat inside.
Add salt and pepper away from the deep fryer to avoid getting in the oil.
Keep an eye on the cooking
• During cooking, it is normal for the temperature indicator light to go on and go off during cooking.
• Always double fry freshly made chips .
- a first fry for 8 to 10 minutes at 160 °C
- a second fry for 2 to 4 minutes at 190 °C
- frozen chips are pre-cooked, you may be able to fry them just once, depending on the instructions on the packet.
Removing the food
• Lift the frying basket out of the oil and rest it on the rim of the bowl.
• Let it drain for a few seconds.
• Take the basket away from the fryer.
• Serve.
Switching off the deep fryer
• When you have finished frying, set the temperature control to the lowest setting and the power switch to the OFF position.
• Unplug the deep fryer.
• Leave the deep fryer to cool completely (1 to 2 hours).
• Store the power cord in the cord storage.
• Use only the carrying handles to move the deep fryer.

Cooking
Cooking tables
The cooking times are a guide only. They could vary depending on quantity, taste, electricity supply etc...
Always fry freshly made chips twice.
- a first fry at 160 °C
- a second fry at 190 °C For the crispiest results, dry food items thoroughly before frying, especially freshly made chipped potatoes. Large pieces of chicken or large chips need a longer cooking time. Set the temperature control according to the table above, or follow the instructions on food packaging. Cooks tips : When cooking battered food and doughnuts, remove the wire basket to prevent food sticking to it. Take great care when handling the food and use tongs. Gradually place the food in the hot oil, submerging it an inch at a time to prevent it from sinking straight away.
